Will You Be Performing Metal Plate Hip Augmentation In The Future?

Q: Dr. Eppley, will you be performing the hip augmentation with the metal plates in the future?

A: As for iliac crest hip augmentation with metal plates, this is a procedure I am currently performing since it has received FDA approval in the Spring of 2024. It is a composite skeletal and soft tissue hip augmentation method using a mental iliac crest plate with a silicone hip implant attached to it.
